Yes, it is a time of frivolity here, too Baz:D

Eldest will probably spend all day in her pirate costume....:cool::eek:

..even possibly getting on public transport, too:p


pity it falls on a weekday, there are 2 square riggers in the Derwent this week, (the Lady Nelson is a permanent) and would be great to do a day out on the water dressed as pirates.

Well, as I suspected eldest Doubter went dressed like a pirate today, took 4 buses into town to visit BF, had a few larfs wandering about the northern 'burbs, then turned up at work wanting a lift home this arvo, hat, boots, plastic sword the whole kit:D

Had a few interesting conversations with people on the bus and at the bus stop etc.

Thats what it's all about:D

No, not those murdering pondlife scum that inhabit some of the worlds oceans in recent times, at all.

this is a 'celebration' of all things 'classic pirate' from the storybooks/ movies/ anecdotes that we grew up with, of course there were some real detritus also back then, history is history, but the talk like a pirate day reallly is aimed at the lighter side of the classic pirate life; wenches, rum, mead, barnacles and the plank:D:wasntme:

...and according to my daughter, dressing in pirate garb and poking fake plastic swords at small children and the elderly on public transport:D

TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY

Instructions
1


Throw in a generous helping of "matey" and "arr!" Even if that's all the pirate speak you know, this will go a long way towards making you sound authentic.

2


Replace "you" with "ye" and "your" with "yer." Use "me" to mean "my."


3


Start verbs with "be" and use the -ing form of the verb so that ye be soundin' like the real thing. These substitutions work for the past, present and future: "We be plunderin'" could mean we plundered yesterday, we are currently plundering now, or we are going to plunder tomorrow.

4


Omit the -g on word endings. A true pirate would never say "fighting," "going," or "pillaging."

5


Drop the -th on "with": Ye be comin' wi' me, matey?

6


Say "aye" to mean "yes" and "nay" for "no." And true pirates don't ask - they tell. No self-respecting pirate would be caught dead saying things like, "Yes, I'd like another spot of tea, please." It's "Aye, gimme the tea, matey!"

7


Describe everything using profuse and grandiose adjectives. Nothing is ever "good" or "big"; it's "right grand" or "considerable vast."


Tips & Warnings


Practice the lingo of true pirates until you get to a point where you feel comfortable using words like "ahoy," "lass" and "scallywag" in everyday conversation.



You can never go wrong with a hearty "Shiver me timbers!"
